Hi, I'm Ransom, and I like to tell stories. Sometimes I tell them with words, sometimes with pictures, often with both. I grew up on a farm on the Eastern shore of Maryland and also in a little house by the beach in Englewood, Florida where I got very tan and swam every day until I became half fish. I started writing stories when I was young, on an old typewriter that jammed and longhand on legal pads. When I was a little older I got a camera for Christmas and became obsessed with photography, and when I was a little older still my friends and I came into possession of a half-broken video camera and began to make our own movies, starring ourselves, using our bedrooms and backyards for sets. I have loved writing stories and taking photographs and making movies ever since, and have endeavored to do all three.
As a kid, Jacob formed a special bond with his grandfather over his bizarre tales and photos of levitating girls and invisible boys. Now at 16, he is reeling from the old man's unexpected death. Then Jacob is given a mysterious letter that propels him on a journey to the remote Welsh island where his grandfather grew up. There, he finds the children from the photographs--alive and well--despite the islanders’ assertion that all were killed decades ago. As Jacob begins to unravel more about his grandfather’s childhood, he suspects he is being trailed by a monster only he can see. A haunting and out-of-the-ordinary read, debut author Ransom Rigg’s first-person narration is convincing and absorbing, and every detail he draws our eye to is deftly woven into an unforgettable whole. Interspersed with photos throughout, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a truly atmospheric novel with plot twists, turns, and surprises that will delight readers of any age.
因为看了蒂姆 波顿改编自这本书的奇幻电影预告片 :怪奇孤儿院。于是,一改往日电影后再原著的风格,这次先看了下原著。虽然一开始就弥漫着诡异的风格,但我真的觉得前头写的太冗长了,导致真正的故事高潮出现在二分之一处。书里面的照片都很不错,增添了读者的阅读趣味。但说...
评分封面就让人看得很不安,书里的照片更叫人汗毛都竖起来了。这些照片都是黑白的,不清晰的,人物的样子怪怪的,眼神也充满诡异。与这一切形成截然对比的是作者的帅,作家帅成这样,有点不应该。为此,在作者的介绍里,都特别说明优越的创作力和俊俏的外表让作者在欧美迅速串...
评分 评分黑白色的世界里,一个孤零零的女孩站在那里,纯洁的白色裙子……看起来就让人心疼,我想她不是一个具体的人,她是我们心灵的象征,是我们内心最柔软之处的象征。 是的,兰萨姆•里格斯的奇幻之旅是心灵之旅,个人认为它与哈利•波特并不相同,这是一部借助奇幻表现亲情及...
评分在飞机上看的, 睡了看, 看了睡, 但到了最后, 开始放不下手了。 毕竟还是会在意这个故事最后怎么“圆回来”。从这个角度来说, 其实不够高级。其实, 从创作初衷来说, 并不是说有个故事在作者心中呼之欲出, 而是因为作者喜欢收集一些比较奇特的照片并对照片中的人物(特别...
对于YA来讲还可以。新手作者,文笔比较幼稚,尤其是最后剧情的高潮和结尾对续集的引入实在是太欠火候。再就是男女主角的爱情实在是发展太快,或者说是没有发展就在一起了。
评分The plot is different form the movie.
评分看之前完全不知道这是一个坑。。但是真的挺好看的????就找第二本来看咯
评分情节推进的太慢了,不得不耐着性子往下看。关于普通少年发现自己异能的这种故事,珠玉太多,而读这一系列,我所有阅读热情都被主人公没完没了的心理活动和平淡无奇的情节中消耗了……
